Mid-Week Update: Finally Checking In!

I know. I pretty much disappeared for the last three weeks. I’ve made occasional posts, but given no updates on writing progress. That’s because there hasn’t been much progress. I haven’t done a thorough review of the last two years, but this should go down as one of the longer stretches without writing progress since […]

Round of Words Goals Post: Spring 2013

I can’t believe the time has come to write another goals post for A Round of Words in 80 Days, the writing challenge that knows you have a life. I’m even a day late. 🙂 I’m thinking no one will mind if I post this to the update linky. If you’re truly looking for an […]

Sunday Update: Baby Steps

That seems an appropriate summation of what I’ve accomplished writing-wise this week. I only wrote on two days, getting in 700 words on the fairytale I’m writing on Tuesday, and then 600 on the second Foulweather Twins novel on Thursday. So that’s not much writing. But it comes after two weeks of exceeding my goals. […]

Is It Spring Yet?

Spring is right around the corner. I keep feeling hints of it in the air. We’ve had two blessed Saturdays in a row where the weather was about sixty degrees and sunny. It feels magical after so many long weeks inside.  My creativity seems to be bursting forth like snowmelt feeding a river. I’m making […]

Quick Update

The words are really flowing this week. I’m looking for any opportunity to write, and it shows. Sunday: 900 words on my main WIP, and 500 on my “just for fun” project.Monday: 600 words on the “just for fun” project. I know I’m cheating, but Mondays are tough with my 60 mile commute and I […]

Promotion, Production and Procrastinating

Hi there! I chose three p’s for the title today. I’m feeling a little Sunday morning spunky. So far on this bright day, my husband has made a delicious breakfast and built a big fort in the living room with the kids. I’ve done very little. Awesome. 🙂(Update, since I wrote this part an hour […]

Sunday Update: Fresh Words

It feels good to be slipping back into a writing routine after the release of my latest book. I floundered for a few days with attempts to market the new book, and a few more with wondering how much more I could do to promote the release. I found my balance this week. I’ll continue […]

Round of Words Goals Post: Happy New Year!

When I think about all I can anticipate in 2013, I get really excited! One of the major advantages to taking part in something like A Round of Words in 80 Days — the writing challenge that knows you have a life — is the quarterly re-assessing of goals. It’s a bright and shiny new year…but […]

Final ROW80 Update of 2012! Eek!

Alright guys. I don’t have long for this post. Life has blown up around my ears and I barely have a clear view of the door, which I fear I’ll never reach through all this muck. Yes, I’m being dramatic. But there’s also lots going on, and that mental space I need to finalize the […]

Mid-Week Update: It’s Been Crazy

There is more crazy to come. But I don’t have to tell you that. 🙂 I’m hearing lots of chatter from writers finishing up their NaNo 50,000 — if that’s you, way to go!! What a major accomplishment! My own writing has been progressing VERY slowly the past two weeks. I am about one-third of […]
